    Hopefully this will help them finally make money off digital. Like Hulu.

    I sometimes miss reading WIRED, OXM, Popular Mechanics, and C & D. I'd pay a dollar a month for this if they're a part of it.

    Just a note to remind my fellow commenters that not ALL men or ALL women are any particular thing. There are good and bad in both sexes equally. Just remember if you have a relationship, you have relationship issues. A lot of joy and a lot of heartache. Thats the way it is. Thats the way its always been. Thats the way it will always be.

    @Twanzio: I was just trying to stop the ALL women bashing, we arent ALL anything. This is not a new phenom to our generation either. Since Adam and Eve, men and women have had their differences, and personally, I wouldnt change it. Viva La Difference. :D

    ps-I have never bashed anyones anything.

    I think it's more that after you put enough hours into these games, your save data is like an extension of yourself - if you evaluated it in terms of what you make per hour working, then even at minimum wage, this would be a tremendous loss, even not counting the emotional investment in it.

    So the girl sees it as a toy the guy spends too much time on her and smashes it. The guy sees it as a direct personal attack, like if she had poisoned or stabbed him.

    Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk of getting close to someone that unhinged. If a guy plays games and ignores his girlfriend she's well within her rights to leave. If she'd make a big deal about staging the destruction of one of your main hobbies... she's crazy. Get out of the house. Run for it. You don't want to be around someone that irrational.

    The console is not a penis. Even Freud (is attributed to have?) said "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." The world is not made up of penis analogs.

    Felice Frankel has been shooting some incredible scientific photographs for some years now. The ferrofluid shot reminds me of one of hers.

    Not to be labeled a fanboy or anything but calling the Xbox 360 over the PS3 is really subjective. I have both but I'd recommend the PS3 over the 360 especially since most games these days are multiplatform.

    In reply to LEAK: The Google Phone "Is a Certainty"
    This would be perfect for me. I recently picked up an HTC Hero from Sprint, and the first thing I did was grab the Google Voice app and set it to replace all of the normal phone functions (voice, SMS, voicemail), so it's like my Sprint number doesn't even exist. I work in a solid steel building, and data signals from Sprint's network can barely penetrate. So it's great having my phone set up to use the building's wireless, letting me make calls from areas that are complete dead zones for everyone else.

    I can't believe the COWON S9 got no love in the PMP section. It straight-up blows the iPod Touch and Zune HD out of the water.

    Razer Mamba beats the Sidewinder X8 hands down.

    @MitchellChris:
    I disagree.
    In terms of performance they match up pretty evenly, both use bluetrack, have similar wireless speeds, both have macro options, and both have an insane amount of DPI (most of which is superfluous). The play and charge cable for the Sidewinder has received more praises than the Mambas equivalent in comparative reviews though combined with the Sidewinders awesome vertical side button positioning.

    The biggest reason why the Mamba doesn't beat the Sidewinder in my opinion though?

    The Mamba is twice the price of the X8.

    The Mamba is good I'll grant you that but it's not worth the cost of two Sidewinders by a long way.

    @UnderLoK:
    Yeah that's the only complaint people have had about the Sidewinder is that it's too large. I personally find it more comfortable that way, it's not really excessively large anyway. But I still don't think the Mamba is worth paying twice as much over it.

    I considered putting something about how "The Best Video Game Console: Xbox 360" made me let out a heavy sigh of disappointment. But then I decided not to. Oh, wait a minute...
